Call for Exhibition Volunteers: Ghazaleh Avarzamani (Contemporary Calgary)
DATE :
DEADLINE: May 17, 2026 - 5:00 pm
Churn, Earn, Burn and then Return comprises a new immersive installation by Iranian-Canadian artist Ghazaleh Avarzamani developed site-specifically for Contemporary Calgary's Ring Gallery.

What will your role involve?
As an Exhibition Volunteer, you will play a key role in enhancing the visitor experience. You will assist visitors by engaging them in conversations about the artworks, helping them connect with the exhibition, and answering general questions. Your responsibilities will also include offering friendly guidance—such as clarifying which works are interactive and which are for viewing only—ensuring a welcoming atmosphere, and providing support as needed throughout the space.
What are the requirements?
We ask for volunteers to commit to at least one shift per week from June through November 2026. Shifts are available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 12 to 7 pm, and Sundays from 12 to 5 pm.
